Chapter 373: The Cinderella Massacre (Part 1)

Views:

Gnar felt that the reason why Governor Conley chose peace talks was because he was already somewhat unable to suppress Cinderella's situation, so he made such a choice.

But Dane didn't think so.

"Where did this news come from?" He asked.

"The rumors from Cinderella's direction, now, almost everyone knows about it." Gnar said of course.

Dane frowned even tighter: "Has there been a detailed report on this matter from Chapple's intelligence network?"

"Uh..." Gnar obviously missed the point. He searched frantically, and then reported to Dane: "A similar piece of news came, almost at the same time as the rumor. It said that Cinderella was suspected of rioting, and the specific situation is still under investigation .”

After finishing the content of this intelligence, Gnar continued: "This time, the work of the intelligence network is not in place. The whole world knows that there are 20,000 to 30,000 rebels of Governor Conley in Cinderella. Participated in the riot, and our intelligence network actually wants to investigate further?"

Dane took a breath and had some bad thoughts. This idea is not easy to say directly, he thought for a while, and just issued an order: "Find me someone to send a letter to Governor Oze, and be careful when handing over Ice Cave City! At the same time, let all our soldiers Get me ready to go!"

Gnar was a little dazed by the string of orders. He asked, "What's the matter, boss? Why do you want to do this all of a sudden?"

"Just listen to me, I'm just thinking of some very bad things, I hope what I think doesn't come true..."

As soon as the voice fell, a guard walked in from outside.

"Report to the lord! There is a person with a secret order saying that he wants to see you, and it is extremely urgent!"

"Secret order?" Dane's teeth were scratched, and his mood had sunk to the bottom.

I'm really afraid of something! The so-called secret orders are something that only the high-ranking spies under Chapple can have. With this secret order in hand, to a large extent, he can directly use many forces belonging to Dane's forces, and even come to meet Dane himself at any time.

Of course, such things, of course, cannot be used at any time. The so-called senior spies are people with very meticulous and cautious thoughts. With their personalities, it is impossible to use such things unless they really encounter very important things.

And now, there is a senior spy who is coming to see him at this point in time? Dane felt that his previous guess might be true.

Not daring to neglect, Dane immediately asked Gnar to find Patience, and then blocked the left and right, leaving only his legion commander and adjutant to listen to the secret report with him.

The appearance of the senior secret agent was nothing out of the ordinary. When he came to meet Dane, he was only wearing very ordinary clothes with hardly any special identification mark.

"My lord, Cinderella made an urgent report: Governor Conley suddenly launched an attack before dusk yesterday, leading troops to dispatch around Cinderella, arresting and killing more than 50,000 people on the spot!"

"According to our intelligence, the targets of Governor Conley's operation this time are the supporters of the former Governor Bernier who have been secretly resisting him. Of course, the remaining supporters of Governor Bernier are certainly not There may be as many as 50,000 people. Based on what we know, most of the 50,000 people who were arrested and killed were innocent citizens, and it might just be because they said something bad about Conley."

"Governor Kangli didn't hold back his hands after arresting people on a large scale. It is estimated that most of these arrested people will be executed before dark today."

After hearing the information, Gnar was at a loss. He asked strangely: "Kangli... That guy Kangli, why did he suddenly make such a big move in Cinderella at this moment? Even if he wants to carry out a big purge, the best time should be in the agreement Come back after it is fully implemented and the situation stabilizes?"

"Hehe..." Dane sneered, and said, "Why? Because, our Governor Kangli didn't want to fulfill the agreement at all. What they want is to delay some time, even if it is to fully confess and implement such an agreement. A nonsense agreement, but also to delay the time, in order to solve Cinderella's problem."

"Huh?" Gnar was even more inexplicable.

"Conley has been in Cinderella for so long, but he has not been able to completely uproot Bernier's remnants. Why? Is he unable to pull it out? No, of course it is impossible." Patience was beside her The analysis said: "Even Governor Bernier himself is dead, what's so hard to cut off his remnants? It's just that in Cinderella, a big city with a population of more than 100,000, those remnants of Governor Bernier He has lived in this city for such a long time, and it is not too difficult to hide from Kang Li."

"Conley has no way to wipe out Bernier's forces, because it is not easy to find the traces of these guys accurately."

"But now it's all right, the situation is urgent, and Kang Li simply won't look for it. All suspects will be killed."

"I believe that after Bernier's remnant forces, after such a long attack, there are not many people left. It is already amazing to have a thousand or two thousand people, and a maximum of three thousand people. And for Eliminate these people... Conley led his legion and killed 50,000 people in one day! What kind of concept is this? This has almost killed almost half of the entire population of Cinderella!"

"What a... what a demon!"

In the end, Patience was almost trembling with anger.

When Patience kept talking beside her, Dane kept frowning and thinking about things.

He was speculating on Governor Conley's next move.

Conley came up with an agreement that seemed unlikely to be fulfilled, bought time, and wiped out almost all those who resisted or were likely to resist him in the city of Cinderella, even massacring the city. If he does this, there will always be a next move.

He still held 5,000 soldiers in his hands. After slaughtering Cinderella once, these 5,000 people were liberated.

But where can these 5,000 people be used

Heading north to support Lost City? Dane believed that Conley made such a big move, and he wouldn't make a lot of noise and make a lot of rain. Five thousand Cinderella's infantry left the city and went north to find Dane, which would not have any impact on the situation. Not to mention, before Conley led the troops, Dane probably had already defeated the Lost City, so what if he didn't? In the field battle, there were only 5,000 people in Kangli. Although Dane only had the same number of soldiers, he also felt that he would definitely be able to crush the opponent!

Conley must have other actions! (To be continued.)
